Stranded cable is basically less prone to breaking. It has air between the filiments of wire. Surface area of the tiny wires compared to the core area is extremely high.Audioquest has the same copper material in their type 4 and type 6 solid core wires as the copper in their stranded speaker cable. So the source and purity of the copper are equal.
The solid core stuff just sound much tighter and more powerful in the bass and has much less smearing and softening of inner details. It is cleaner and clearer. It has significantly more core area and much reduced surface area.
So don't worry about how Cat 5 measures. It is dirt cheap. Give it a try and see how it plays!
I love my biwired type 6 Audioquest wire. Simply awesome sound across the sound spectrum.
Cheers!
